Abstract excerpt
In bacterial test systems, Co(II) has been shown to be antimutagenic in combination with several chemical and physical agents. To investigate whether such modulations also apply to mammalian cells, the effect of Co(II) on UV-induced mutagenesis, sister-chromatid exchanges as well as DNA damage and its removal was determined. Co(II) itself is weakly mutagenic at the HPRT locus and increases the frequency of...
